A Case Report of Sudden Loss of Vision in Viral Encephalitis - Review of Literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
We present a case of a 36-year-old woman with sudden loss of vision that was initially diagnosed as cortical blindness. After extensive workup herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was detected in the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Our patient’s clinical features, response to treatment as evidenced by improvement in vision, cognition and CRP, as well as the CSF PCR result, are convincing evidence of atypical HSV-1 encephalitis masquerading as an episode of sudden loss of vision.
